Swine Flu Fever

As the reports of Swine Flu deaths grow, we are left to wonder if this is now actually something to worry about. In the beginning, I thought it was another hyped animal flu, but with 152 deaths in Mexico, now I start to wonder. Of course, so far it seems the deaths have only been in Mexico, which makes you wonder if it’s a question of the flu itself or how it’s being treated there.

Some catchline on a perma-news channel (CNN perhaps) encouraged viewers to weigh in with their opinions about Swine Flu. What does the pro-Swine Flu lobby say?

I never trusted those guys…

The New York Times has a picture of monitors in a South Korean airport scanning your body for thermal signs of flu. The information age is here and your body is no longer a temple.
